You are invited to join the Climate Action Network Canada,
Pembina Institute, the Heinrich Böll Foundation, and The United Church of
Canada, for the launch of a new report “Harvesting
Clean Energy on Ontario Farms” to be featured on a Southern Ontario speaking
tour the week of June 27-30, 2011.

The
report and tour will highlight
the untapped business opportunities for Ontario’s farmers that can be found in
the field of renewable energy; the numerous other
benefits of renewable energy, such as rural economic development and improved
environmental conditions; and finally, the government policies needed to allow
farmers to embrace the benefits of renewable energy. Alongside Canadian and European clean energy experts,
Hans-Detlef Feddersen, a leading German farmer, clean energy pioneer and
founder of Germany’s first citizen-owned wind park will be our featured speaker.

We
would be delighted if you could join us at one of our tour stops to hear the
report findings give us your valuable input on this growing project. The tour will begin in Ottawa on June
27 and will travel through Kingston, Toronto, Cambridge and surrounding areas
and will end in Guelph on June 30. Please see the attached for detailed
schedule and event information.
The schedule may be updated online at www.climateactionnetwork.ca.
